Every summer we make a list of things we want to do with the kids.  I like to think of it in terms of activities I want to take photos of…it makes it easier for me to come up with ideas.  And this summer I completely flaked and forgot to share my list.  We did already start DOING the stuff…but only have about a month or so left before school starts again so yeah…gotta get on this PRONTO to get it all done.

Admittedly we did a lot when we visited Jekyll Island – you can read the recap here and here….but we still have a lot to do….and the thing that scares me the most is tie dye shirts….I have no idea why 🙂

I get asked a lot about kid photography and here is a great post about how to capture some things that are always on the move and always need to be in those photo books!  aka your children 🙂

 

And even if you just use your iPhone, that is just fine too…just make sure to get a variety of shots so that you can put them in your photo books to remember how much fun you had this summer.

And remember to get in those shots moms!  It’s easy to forget or to feel self conscious about not looking like a perfect specimen of human but you will never look like this again….your kids will want to remember you as part of their adventure!

And lastly – I need to know what is on your list this year?  What is the activity that scares you the most?  Backyard camping was up there….until I realized that I would be sleeping inside and Jeremy could totally handle it 🙂
